Strategic Outlook & Strategic Planning Update

5

• A series of virtual brainstorming sessions were held after ICANN67 with several community stakeholder groups across the globe to help identify new trends, opportunities, and risks (two public sessions, as well as sessions with the GAC, SSAC, GNSO Council and the IPC).

• Approximately 80 community members participated. The inputs collected during these community sessions are available on the strategic planning page of icann.org.

• The next step in the Strategic Outlook process is underway. It consists of a trend analysis and impact assessment (under Board oversight), so that new trends can be factored into the annual iteration of ICANN’s planning.

• In conjunction with this work, Board discussions will continue, towards defining a light-weight and agile “rolling plan process” to allow for revisions of the strategic plan through its cycle.
